Talk:soul

Verification debate
A pathetic of pitiable person
 * Poor wee soul

Surely the phrase itself given as an example of its usage is idomatic to some extent and that this sense for soul is not really valid?--Williamsayers79 14:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it would be valid if you took out the "pathetic or pitiable" part.


 * A crowd of 10,000 souls had gathered in the park to hear the speech.
 * I and half a dozen other likeminded souls decided to clean up the park.
 * I was just a wandering soul on the road, like countless others fleeing the war's devastation.


 * There is perhaps a sense of facelessness or lack of identity that comes with this usage. But I don't think it necessarily implies that the person is pitiable or pathetic.  --Jeffqyzt 14:56, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I updated the definition to be "A person, especially as one among many", and added a cite from The Federalist Papers. If someone feels this isn't well known enough, I can easily add more.  I left the rfv-sense. --Jeffqyzt 15:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I dont see the pathetic person as valid. I am removing that sense. Andrew massyn 06:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
